If by butt you mean a pipe or a half-tun then about 120 gallons.

A butt is strictly defined as one half of a tun(a historic english measurement of volume). A tun can very between 256 and 208 gallons, this would imply that butt could range anywhere between 104 and 128 gallons. The imperial standard for a butt is 105 gallons. The United States standard for a but is 126 gallons.

If you mean 'butt load' as in the American slang term then the answer is much more relative. The term generally refers to a notably large amount in relation to the norm.

What is the metric equivalent of a butt load?

Get a load of this...There is an exact unit of volume called the butt. See Webster's dictionary:Butt: a measure of liquid capacity equal to 126 gallons or two hogs heads.From another dictionary:An English butt is 2 hogshead of 54 imperial gallons each or ~129.7 US gallons (i.e., a UK butt is apparently slightly bigger than a US one).A Spanish butt is based on a wine cask and is equivalent to 140 US gallons or ~116.6 UK gallons (i.e., a Spanish butt is bigger still).So next time someone says they have a "butt load" of stuff, just remember, that is about two 55-gallon barrels worth of stuff.To recap...1 butt equals: 2 hogsheads (this is probably the easiest to remember for social occasions)476.961 liters126 gallons104.917 UK gallons13.5347 bushels0.131592 cords11.6574 firkins4032 gills21504 ponys4032 noggins1008 pints96768 teaspoons12.0308 ephahs1.58987x10^7 drops10752 jiggers16128 shots629.504 wine bottles630 fifthsAnd the punchline...One microbutt = 0.0968 teaspoons.


How much is in a butt-load?

A "butt-load" is an informal and humorous unit of measurement that is often used to describe a large quantity of something. Historically, it referred to a specific volume of wine, equivalent to about 126 gallons or approximately 478 liters. However, in modern usage, it generally denotes an unspecified but substantial amount, often used in a lighthearted context.

What is a buttload?

A buttload in modern slang just means "a large amount," but surprisingly, it is also actually a real unit of measure that has fallen out of favor for perhaps obvious reasons. :) A butt (from Middle English bote) is equal to two hogsheads, but hogsheads vary according to the contents. In the United States a hogshead is typically 63 gallons and a butt is 126 gallons. Some sources say that the difference in size of a butt depends on where you live (gallons vs imperial gallons). In Scotland, a butt is 108 Imperial gallons, and a hogshead is 54 gallons. Other sources say that a butt was 126 gallons if wine, and 108 if ale, which would go along with the varying-hogshead size explanation. It depends on who you talk to when translating "butt" into "buttload" however. Some say that a filled butt is a buttload. Others, that a wagon filled with butts would be a buttload. I favor the wagon explanation myself, but I really don't know if there is a difference. How many giant 126-gallon casks can you really fit in a wagon anyway?
